I've baught a whole bunch of different window cleaners but whenever i clean the rear winsheild it foggs up and is kinda greasy the next day or so! what am i doing wrong? its really pissing me off. I've tried using different materials to clean the glass with...i dunno im stumped it looks amazing for a day or 2 but then it gets so bad that at night its hard to see out of. Any ideas?? if not im just gonna bring it to a detailing shop when i have the chance.
If it is hazzy on the inside, that is caused by two things: Outgassing from the materials inside the car,Example the seat fabrics. It could also be caused by the protectorant you use on any vinal in the car. The only thing you can do is use less protectorant in the car. This will lessen the gassing of the windows. If it is not from that, the only other thing that causes the inside windows to fog or get hazy is smoking in the car.
I have used a foam glass cleaner for a few years now and that seemed to help lessen the hazy inside windows.
If the problem is the outside of the windows, the only thing I can say is try a foam glass cleaner and see if the haze goes away longer.

if its on the outside, it could be that the glass is pitted over time...but on a back window id doubt it.

Thanks for the ideas. Ya it is on the inside and i dont smoke or let anyone smoke in my car. i did however rewrap my rear deck in vinyl a while ago. could this be causing it??
no

go to store and get windex... if that starts doing it.. torch the car, cause windex cures all

Nah, stoners for the win. They sell it at walmart. It's called Stoners Invisable Glass (i think) and works wonders. The only thing i see sometimes with it is that if it kinda streaks when you first wipe it off go back over it with a clean cloth and it'll look perfect.

ya ive tried windix, and the last product i baught was the stoners invisible glass. thats for sure the best stuff ive used kuz the front window and side windows are awesome! but the back window still hazes up
all my windows were tinted at one point in time but its been removed. i went out and cleaned it again and it feels kinda greasy. i just cleaned it with the stoners invisible glass cleaner with a lint free microfiber cloth or something liek that.
Well i think i'm the only one that took the time of looking at your profile to find out where your at living so close to the sea and the rain that you guys get there and up and down temps might have something to do with that plus if you have anything in the car that has liquid in it might be a factor even check your trunk floor see if theres a puddle of water from a leak If theres a grease forming up it might be glue from the tint phone a tint shop and just ask what they use for tint removel?

DO THIS!!
mine was like this for a while too, i couldnt figure out what to do. finally i figured it out. get some Windex and some paper towels and clean of the entire area with it. it may take a few paper towels to get it. it wont be cleared up just yet. now get some Invisible Glass and some newspaper. spray the glass and wipe it all up with the newspaper a couple times. i did this at night and the next morning, it was just like new. very happy with the results. hope this helps

ill give that a try tonight
newspaper??
I also noticed that the air coming outa my vents smells like old lady lol i wonder if this is the reason? anyone know where the vents go outside the car? i tried looking but no dice.
You didn't mention if you smoked in the car or not...that is another leading cause of foggy windows, tobacco tar. Especially windshield and back window (where you exhale and the wind blows it to the back cause your crack the windows)

He said he does not smoke.
If you use Armor-all or any type of vinyl/plastic protectant, that is the material that is causing the haze on the inside glass.
When you leave it out in the sun, the protectant evaporates and goes up and sticks to the glass.
To clean that, use Windex or glass cleaner but with Ammonia base NOT vinegar base, as vinegar base will eat/pit metal (rear defroster for eg).
If you have condensation haze when it rains, then you got a leak on the seal. Sometimes you may get condensation haze after the A.C. is turned off... and that is normal.
